White Knight Chronicles Media and Information Thread

I think the newer offline mode screenshots are impressive. They environment detail and distance, as well as the art are already quite good by themselves, but if you consider the fact that the whole party and enemies are also visible on the same map it becomes technically impressive as well (the only comparable current-gen RPG would be IU, which took quite a graphical hit to do this).

Between the text in the upper left corner, the health bars and stats in the upper right, the mini-map in the lower left, the huge targetting circle in the lower right, and the move selection stuff at the bottom, I think that there is a bit too much information taking up the majority of screen space. They should tone it down a bit. Game looks great though.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, the Japanese aren't the most conservative with UI, they should be, they have the highest HDTV penetration in the world.

I am seriously questioning whether to buy RE5 because of it's HUD, I honestly don't think I could look at it for twenty hours.

There's another enemy to the north (to the right side of the screenshot), that's why that dude is getting a look at it.
Look at the red dots in the radar
 
This game looks really cool. I can't wait to try the online. Mostly I am happy the PS3 is FINALLY getting a big AAA exclusive RPG. Well maybe not, Valkyria comes out in 3 days here in the US. But this one pretty much dwarfs that one in terms production.

This shot looks really nice, but I really want to see something that gives more of a sense of the scale and composition of the enviroments. Most of the shots are taken at the edge of the minimap, looking outward, so you can't really tell if the scale is something you can actually explore or if it's just the backdrop.

The text looks like MMO style combat text. They couldn't have gone with damage floating above the head like most rpgs, it'd be a hell of a lot less intrusive. If they could shrink the timing circle thing a bit as well. All the other info looks too necessary.

Yep. Just hope that localization doesn't take as long though.

If anyone wants to help me make the hype thread, PM me.
 
Scheduled for "release" (for lack of a better term) on 11/5/2008 @ 3PM JPN time.

For those that are too lazy to figure out what time that is in the US:
~10:00PM Pacific Time on 11/4/2008

This will be a web release and potentially password protected since you need info on a card that Level 5 handed out at their booth at TGS2008. Originally was planned for 10/31/2008.

If it's not password restricted, I'll post the link up later tonight...if not, you guys might want to scour around youtube or gametrailers.com or what not a little bit after that time.

Sorry, I don't have the link to this particular page at work atm...will post later tonight.

Looks great. Really expansive with humongous environments. Very good animations.

while the overall graphics seem to be a smidge behind the times, I have to agree that the expansive enviroments look really great.

You have to remember Japan isn't exactly "with the times" lol :lol
 
at least they showed off a desert like area. i want to see snow/nice now.

but what really stands out to me is the sky :lol it's the most beautiful thing in the game.
 
going out on the limb here, but i think that girl was the best part of the video, not any of the parts having to do with WKC itself :P
 
The new scenes at the end :OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Haha. Yeah, she made me laugh.
 
Ohmanohmanohman, is it that girl from the MGS press conference, the one that used to be a gravure idol and had heeyuuuge fake boobs but (sadly, for me) got them reduced then ended up with the Sony gig?
